QCV - Quantum Communications Victoria

About Company

Quantum Communications Victoria (QCV) is a Victorian Government Industry Development
Initiative with a focus on developing quantum technology that will enable absolute
secure communication. Its research and commercialisation capabilities are those
of its Core Partners – The University of Melbourne, MagiQ Technologies
Inc., Silicon Graphics Inc., and Qucor Pty Ltd.Its key activities are to:

develop a world class facility for the design and manufacture of secure quantum
communication devices;
build a strong domestic knowledge base in the field of quantum communications
technology;
strengthen the education and research infrastructure in quantum communication
technology;
attract investment.
The technology being prototyped by QCV will enable absolute secure communication
using the quantum properties of light. QCV is developing a device capable of
producing single packets of light (photons) which can be transmitted in optical
fibre. Such a device will resolve the existing issues of single photon generation
in current quantum communication systems.

The QCV device is a diamond-based single photon source suitable for optical
fiber based quantum communications. Diamond is the only material capable of
room-temperature operation. In this scheme, microscopic crystals of diamond
are grown directly onto the tips of optical fibers, allowing the single photons
emitted from the diamond crystals to be channeled directly into the fiber. The
result is a robustly packaged, miniaturized and room temperature stable single
photon source.
